The main components included: guidance on Gyeonggi education policies; sharing of adaptation and growth cases in the teaching profession by senior teachers; lectures to strengthen competencies for future education in Gyeonggi; and special lectures to enhance understanding of the educational community.

In particular, the provincial-level educational research association held an empathy concert (chamber music, male quartet, musical, dance, and cheerleading) to celebrate the new beginning of the new teachers and to convey a warm welcome and support from senior teachers, allowing participants to feel a sense of belonging as members of the teaching community.

Superintendent Im Taehee said, "I sincerely welcome you as new members of the Gyeonggi education family," adding, "Teachers are the main agents of education who lead student growth, and the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will be a reliable guardian and companion so that you can devote yourselves to education."

He went on to say, "On the basis of the essence of education that values autonomy, balance, and the future, we will actively support new teachers so that they can take pride in their work and become firmly established in the teaching profession."

The provincial office of education plans to enhance teachers' professionalism and improve their adaptation to the teaching profession by operating systematic, stage-by-stage training programs for new teachers. Through this, it intends to further strengthen the educational capacity of schools.
